G'day all,
I watch this link with great interest and have learnt a lot.
I have recently done a couple of flights in my new Cobra Arrow with the
Renisis engine. There are some quirks to sort out with the airframe but
the engine seems to run very well. It is fitted with an hydraulic in
flight adjustable 3 blade carbon fibre prop and I still have to work out
the best pitch range, but will do that on later flights.
It is winter down here in Oz so temp figures don't mean a lot but to
date oil is running around 75 - 80C and coolant in the low 80'sC
I'm not looking for super high HP as the empty weight of the bird is
only 360 kg, so I'm only looking for around the 150 HP.
Paul suggested some time back that the oil cooler needed more support (
advice taken ).
I'm off to the USA later this week and heading to Oshkosh so hope to see
some good rotary gear there.
In the meantime can I be removed from the list to avoid overflowing my
mailbox for the 3 weeks I'm away. I will hook up again when I get back.
cheers
Baz Mayne
A good meeeting place will be the Mistral tent.
